Yes.

 Also what was the command to change the options through make?
   


make config. If you also wish to configure every dependency, use make
config-recursive. This is useful when you wish to run a port build
without attending every few minutes to press OK at the option dialogs
that pop up.
There are a lot more useful options in the manpages. Try man ports.
